Scholarship Program

Endowed Scholarship Program

The NRCC Educational Foundation awards scholarships of up to $1,000 to support studies at New River Community College.

These awards are based on criteria such as financial need and academic achievement, and are available to persons who are enrolled or intend to enroll in specific programs.

These scholarships are made possible by the generous donations of individuals and organizations who have chosen to provide their support for students through the NRCC Educational Foundation's Endowed Scholarship Program.

Applications are available only online, for more information you may contact the Foundation Office at (540) 674-3618.

The applications are accepted January 5, 2015 through February 16, 2015 for scholarships in Fall 2015 and Spring 2016.
